Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 pound ground beef
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
2 cups (one 16-ounce jar) chunky tomato salsa
3/4 pound cavatappi
2 teaspoons lime juice or red-wine vinegar
1/4 cup chopped cilantro or parsley
6 ounces cheddar cheese, grated (about 1 1/2 cups)
lime wedges for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. In a large frying pan, heat the oil over moderately high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 3 minutes.
  • 2. Stir in the chili powder, salt, and pepper. Add the salsa and simmer over low heat to allow the flavors to combine, about 10 minutes.
  • 3. In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the cavatappi until just done, about 13 minutes.
  • 4. Drain the pasta and toss it with the sauce, lime juice, cilantro, and 1 cup of the cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese and serve with wedges of lime if you like.

EASY CHILI CAVATAPPI



Easy Chili Cavatappi image

This very easy recipe uses two pans and has 'pantry' written all over it. It tastes like what you would expect if Hormel® and Chef Boyardee® shared a kitchen. Perfect for kids. Substitute the cavatappi with any full-bodied pasta, such as bow-tie, wagon-wheel, or mostaccioli. You can even sneak in some frozen corn for a little tex-mex feel. Top it with cheese when serving.

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 quarts water
¼ teaspoon sea salt
1 (8 ounce) package cavatappi pasta
1 teaspoon olive oil
¼ cup finely chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 pound ground beef
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 tablespoon chili powder
½ teaspoon ground cumin
1 (15 ounce) can seasoned black beans, undrained
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring water to a boil in a large pot; add salt. Pour cavatappi into the boiling water and cook until tender but firm to the bite, 10 to 12 minutes; drain and rinse cavatappi.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and garlic in the hot oil until onion is softened and transparent, 5 to 10 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high and stir ground beef into onion mixture. Cook and stir until ground beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain excess grease and return skillet to heat.
  • Mix tomato sauce, chili powder, and cumin into ground beef mixture; cook, stirring occasionally, until tomato sauce is heated through, about 3 minutes. Stir cavatappi into meat sauce until evenly coated; add black beans and pepper. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until flavors have blended, about 5 minutes.
